Hughie Phelan is a recovering alcoholic who frequents Carrigstown, Ireland.
He is a recovered alcoholic but is prone to relapsing on a seasonal basis. In late 2019, there were allegations made against him that he was engaged in a relationship with Heather Phelan, the brain-damaged dunce daughter of Renee Phelan, and a relation of Hughie.
Hughie engaged in a sexual relationship with the mother of Doug Ferguson, Jackie Ferguson. This relationship ultimately drove Hughie back to the gargle after Pete Ferguson continuously taunted him about being able to bed Jackie any time he wanted to. Hughie and Jackie's wedding was interupted when Heather crashed the cermony with further accusations.
Hughie spent years sleeping on the streets due to his chronic alcohol and gambling addictions. It was only when his brother Christy Phelan passed away in 2014 that Hughie was introduced to Carrigstown. Despite suspicions of Hughie's reckless past he was awarded €150,000 in Christy's Will. Hughie squandered it in a matter of days on gambling. It is rumored he drunkenly lost over €50,000 in a high stakes game of poker with billionaire property tycoon Paul Brennan where Paul's son Oisin Brennan was the dealer.
Under the watchful eye of Bob Charles, Hughie has remarkably turned his life around despite recent allegations.
